Partner blogger J.D. Roth of Get Rich Slowly alerts us to a Web site that reduces one of the pains of shopping. PriceProtectr will alert you if the cost of an item you've purchased drops, so you can pocket the difference if the store has a price-protection policy. PriceProtectr monitors prices at 70 different stores. J.D. says he hasn't paid much attention to price-protection guarantees -- up until now. "I don’t pay close attention to ads, and I’m certainly not going to keep going into a store for 30 days after I buy something just to save a few bucks. But PriceProtectr sounds like a great way to make this process painless," he writes. He notes that yapta provides a similar service for airline tickets.
PriceProtectr is a Web site with a sense of humor: "We promise not to spam you, sell your e-mail address, or make fun of you for buying the all-new, digitally remastered 'Little Mermaid,'" it says.
